Figs and Flights’ second event, Irish Hospitality, was a blast! In short it was welcoming, relaxed, and fun.

Let's relive the night together.

Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Dublin, the city in Ireland. 

Last week I did a Fav 5 {Travel Guide} for several other parts of Ireland which is useful if you're exploring around the island/country.

After spending several days road tripping around Ireland we returned the rental car (gladly, AMEN!) and settled into Dublin for the weekend.

Ireland's capitol is a wonderful place to visit. We were in town specifically for a Penn State football game so the city was overrun by Nittany Lions, our schools' mascot and my specific breed of human! While the bars were FILLED with Penn Staters we managed to get some proper Irish adventures in between the pep rally, American football game, and visits to the pubs amongst other alumni at Temple Bar. 

Ireland is the inspiration for the second Figs and Flights {event}. The celebration of Irish Hospitality will take place on Friday, May 17 at our favorite Irish pub in Seattle, Shawn O'Donnell's. ​

There is another Fav 5 {Travel Guide} just for the city of Dublin so you won't see anything from Ireland's Capital and it's largest city included in this guide.

Ireland was the second and final country of my first International Trip. My husband and I went to Italy and Ireland in 2014 on our honeymoon. 

Bryce and I are both part Irish and we first met in an Irish pub in Honolulu, Hawaii, so visiting Ireland was a must for us. If that weren't enough reason for us to go, Penn State, my Alma Mater, was playing (American) football there! Our whole trip revolved around that game which we ended up winning in double overtime. 

We spent several days touring around the Emerald Isle before settling into Dublin for the weekend and football game. This adventure took us to several cities, towns, and landmarks and all over the roads, via the left side of the road and right side of the car (for me, the driver).
